Lakeside @ Our Place is a new provision that provides for young people transitioning to post-16 care.
These young people, who have special needs, moderate to severe learning difficulties, autism and challenging behaviours, will discover a homely, welcoming environment in a purpose-built facility set in a beautiful rural location.
Supporting young people to achieve their ambitions
Lakeside @ Our Place supports adulthood learning, educationally with employability skills and life skills, which will enable effective planning of the transitioning of young people to a successful adult provision, providing step-down programmes of reduced support, where possible, with the hope of living a more independent life. Lakeside @ Our Place will aim to support young people to achieve their ambitions and reach their full potential.
Personal postal addresses
To further support this, the 10 private en-suite bedrooms provide the young people with their own personal postal address.
There is a communal lounge area with media facilities and internet accessibility. This provides a perfect opportunity for the young people to develop friendships, share interests and develop sharing and social skills.
Support for Learning
Lakeside @ Our Place does not offer a formal educational facility; however, they do offer bespoke ‘Support for Learning’ packages, which are outlined in three categories:
- Employability
- College/Education
- Promoting independence skills
The services of experienced occupational and speech & language therapists, as well as psycologists and psychiatrists, are commissioned, and these can be accessed by the young people following an assessment of their needs.
The Lakeside @ Our Place vision statement is “Supporting Independence with Respect, Dignity and Equality”, which guides the ethos of everything that is done to support its young people.
Lakeside @ Our Place has been registered by Ofsted; the registration number is URN 255311
